How long do judgments stay on a credit file?
We retain judgments for six years from the date of judgment. If you pay the judgment within one month of the original judgment date, and obtain a Certificate of Satisfaction from the Court, then Registry Trust will advise us of the cancellation of the judgment and all records of that judgment will be removed from our records. If the judgment is paid in full after the first month and you obtain a Certificate of Satisfaction, the judgment will be marked as being satisfied and will remain on our records for six years from the date of judgment.
